Cash Flow

Businesses can survive without making a profit. According to The Economist(6th April, 2006, Last Tango in Detroit), General Motors, one of the world's largest companies, loses about $1billion every month. The reason General Motors survives and some profitable businesses go to the wall is cash flow. It doesn't matter how much profit you post at the end of the year, if you don't have enough cash to pay your VAT, income tax, rent, wages, overdraft fees, mortgage payments and so on, you will be seeking the protection of the bankruptcy courts.

Many of our clients have been in the position that they don't know how they can pay the wages next week but are certain that their customers will pay them in two weeks. Or growing so fast they can't afford the capital investment to meet the demands of new clients. Both of these cases were companies that were the victims of their success not their failure.

You may be wondering how General Motors has survived without filing for bankruptcy. In April 2006 they had a $20billion cash mountain. Though by the time you read this it may well be a small foothill.

Factoring, quite simply, means that you can spend today what your customers have commited to paying you tomorrow. Technically your borrowing is secured against your debtors book or accounts receivable.
